THE race for the Mayo SFC title was blown wide open on Sunday when hot favourites — and defending champions — Westport were sent crashing out of the competition by Breaffy at the quarter-final stage.

The holders had been expected to advance to the semi-finals comfortably, but the O’Shea brothers, Aidan and Conor, delivered outstanding displays to help Breaffy to upset the odds.
